Penderyn Bad Wolf: Celebrating Welsh Whisky and Storytelling Innovation

Unveiling Penderyn's Bad Wolf: A Toast to Creativity

The enchanting Penderyn Bad Wolf, number 13 in Penderyn's acclaimed Icons of Wales series, has officially made its debut as a tribute not just to whisky lovers but to the vibrant creative scene of Wales. This limited bottling serves as a remarkable celebration of the 10th anniversary of Bad Wolf Studios, a prominent production company headquartered in Cardiff known for its commitment to storytelling.

Aged to Perfection: The Craft of Penderyn

This exquisite single malt whisky, aged for 10 years in old Tawny Port pipes, promises a rich taste experience, blending floral notes with dark fruits, and finishing smoothly with hints of salted caramel. Aista Phillips, Penderyn's master blender, meticulously crafted this expression to encapsulate the essence of both whisky production and storytelling, making it a fitting tribute to Bad Wolf's legacy.

Messages That Resonate: Pullman's Influence

In the words of acclaimed author Philip Pullman, “Tell them stories. They need the truth you must tell them true stories.” This quote eloquently mirrors both Penderyn and Bad Wolf's mission. Their collaboration aims to not only produce an extraordinary whisky but to weave narratives that engage and resonate with audiences globally.

Celebrating a Decade of Storytelling

Founded in 2015, Bad Wolf Studios has rapidly garnered an impressive reputation for producing critically acclaimed series such as “His Dark Materials,” “The Night Of,” and “Doctor Who.” Jane Tranter, CEO and co-founder of Bad Wolf, has expressed that celebrating a decade of creativity with a whisky in their name feels inherently fitting. “Great things come to those who wait,” she remarked, highlighting the serene and patient maturation of both the whisky and their stories.

A Rich Cultural Tapestry: Tasting Notes That Inspire

The intricacies of Penderyn Bad Wolf extend beyond just its symbolism. The tasting notes reveal a delightful complexity: Initial floral aromas lead to flavors of stewed fruits, marzipan, and a subtle salty edge, finishing with a long, elegant retreat that leaves drinkers enchanted. Each sip, reminiscent of the narratives spun at Bad Wolf, encourages drinkers to savor the stories behind the spirit as much as the spirit itself.

Availability for Enthusiasts

Fans of Penderyn and whisky collectors alike can find Penderyn Bad Wolf available for purchase from its distilleries starting Saturday, October 11, with online availability commencing two days later. This limited release is poised to sell out quickly, owing to its significance and the anticipation surrounding Bad Wolf’s remarkable celebration.

The Future of Story-Driven Whisky

As Penderyn continues to innovate its Icons of Wales series, the Bad Wolf whisky stands as a testament to creativity's impact on local communities and global narratives. It encapsulates not only the rich history of Welsh whisky but also the modern artistry that defines our times. As you raise your glass to celebrate this collaboration, remember that every bottle tells a story waiting to be uncovered.
